Reason for recall
GE Healthcare Surgery announces a voluntary field action for the OEC MiniView 6800, OEC 9900 Elite, and OEC 9800 because the workstation power cable assembly can result in intermittent power cord failures.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
